The first operation at the El Guergarat border post uncovered 197 loaves of cocaine (a total of 55.95 kg), carefully concealed inside an international transportation truck from a sub-Saharan African country, according to a security source. 

The driver of the vehicle, aged 55, was arrested, the same source added.

In a second operation at the Tanger-Med port, police and customs officers seized 14 loaves of cocaine (a total of 16.23 kg) concealed in a shipping container of goods from a Latin American country, the security source noted.

Judicial police services opened a judicial investigation, under the supervision of the public prosecutor's office.
